Each week we like to recognize one of our outstanding TakeLessons teachers on our Facebook page that has shown an outstanding commitment and dedication to our program. In case you missed any of our posts last month, take a minute to learn more about each one of the phenomenal teachers that we honored last month!

Valerie has been teaching piano, singing and violin with TakeLessons for almost a year and her commitment to sharing the gift of music is truly admirable. Not only is she passionate about sharing her love of music with her students, but she also works with a Delaware state agency called VSA to teach students with special needs.

Sharmay teaches singing, opera voice, theatrical Broadway singing and music performance in the San Diego area. She has been teaching in-home and in-studio lessons with us for over a year, and recently accepted a position to teach at our new Best Buy lesson center in Chula Vista, CA as well! She goes the extra mile for her students, and often holds recitals in her home so that her students have the chance to perform for each other, and their parents can see their progress firsthand.

Rene is another TakeLessons teacher who teaches both privately and at our Best Buy Lesson Center in Miami. Though he has only been teaching with us since June, Rene already has 11 active students and works hard to ensure that they always have the best possible lesson experience. He teaches a variety of instruments including guitar and bass guitar, drums and piano. In a town where traffic can get tricky, he has been more than willing to go outside of his travel zone to take on new students, and he does everything with enthusiasm.

Sandy teaches piano, music theory, trumpet & French horn in the San Francisco area. Sandy is an example of a phenomenal TakeLessons teacher because she works very hard to engage her students during their lessons, and is always looking for new ways to motivate and inspire them. Her creative approach to teaching helps her students succeed each and every time they have a lesson with her.
